AGENDA REPORT
DATE: January 12, 2026
TO: City Commission
FROM: Bill McDaniel, City Manager
SUBJECT: First of two public hearings on an ordinance annexing certain property and providing for referendum ANX-2025-03.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ANX-2025-03 contains 29 parcels contiguous to the Plant City corporate limits.
This is a proposed annexation by referendum. The attached Urban Services Report sets forth a plan by which urban services will be provided to the Knights Griffin and North Alexander St Area and their residents if annexed into the City of Plant City by a referendum of voters residing within the area. The information contained in this document has been prepared pursuant to requirements for annexation by referendum contained in § 171.042, F.S.
It has been concluded that the parcels are contiguous to the City of Plant City and reasonably compact, thereby not conflicting with any of the requirements of Chapter 171, Florida Statutes, for annexing properties.
The matter is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Board on January 21, 2026.
RECOMMENDATION
After conducting two public hearings on January 12, 2026 and January 26, 2026, adopt an ordinance approving the annexation by referendum.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The annexation, if approved, will provide tax revenue from the development of the parcels.
